Proud to Serve

Finally got Juniper a panorama in the comic. Next one is a big long. I’m pushing for Tuesday, could be Wednesday.
I also really do appreciate everyone who’s been voting on the Webcomics List for my comic. The placement on that list can mean the difference between hundreds and tens of thousands of clicks into the site.
Thank you all.

What happened to your goth under dress and your hand tats? Did you finally find some pens? Or did you just do a bank run, miss the heroics that Suzie News reported on and just steal their pens while they were cleaning up the pepper smell?

I was so caught up in the Juniper moment and the flag, that I read the top web comic blurb as “The placement on that list can mean the difference between hundreds and tens of thousands of CHICKS into the site.”

It would beat trying to get my money back from the Date a Sea Captain website. Now, I just have to get my profile image up to date. Where can I rent a crane for a camera stand? Should I ask Jessica and James?

It’s like she’s expecting to get yelled at about something. Easy enough given what just happened. Then she gets that instead, and yeah, she’s ready to go. She’s got it in her, you know she does, she’s just got to have the chances to get it out.

…ignore the double entendres. It’s the wrong time and place for that sort of thing.

Though honestly, Ellie could have easily advised Juniper to pace herself. There are a lot of dudes in that room, after all, and we can’t well have their power forward collapsing before the backup can arrive.

Juniper is gonna bring this house down! All subscriptions will be renewed… if there are survivors. Anise better find her bearded man Quick! Cinnamon I’m not sure about. Hope she left her bat-rat-bugs (do they have a name?) at home. I wonder if Ginger will stick around to see how this goes?

The last time we saw those particular plague beasts, the were Ratchantulas, if I recall (rat + roach for the initial swarm, mated with Cinnamon’s tarantula, get flying spider-rat-crawlers that a nuke won’t bother)

I’m not sure if “upgrade” is the proper word there. In one sense, yes, they’ll be better at being horrible abominations of nature and implements to inspire terror. On the other hand, that’s not necessarily “better.”

It’s much like Invader Zim’s question about did he make the fire worse, or better?

Rusche mapped it out in a comment after a lot of guessing by commenters before this, but the easiest place to find it is in the author post of comic The Honorary One (current post date April 22, 2014). If you are curious the mapping and don’t want to go to the other comic, it’s as follows:

I love that instead of “stars” Juniper gets the mudflap girl on her flag. Also, after reading the tvtropes page for Shotgunshuffle I can not believe I didn’t realize the last name of every single member of Fleetwood Mac is represented in members of the casts’ last names. I loved your level of references but that kind takes it to a whole new level. Way to break the chain.

Yeah, I’m wondering how much she’s getting off easy or if she’s kept them sufficiently off-balance and hasn’t given them time to talk.

Though, with her being the lazy one, it’s also quite possible that all her older sister owe her a few by now too (her not being prone to doing more than needed so possibly often easy to find and coerce) and this is just a recognized way of paying that back. If she doesn’t get some degree of crap for using the emergency summon pager for something like this, that’s my going theory for explanation why.

Her being lazy would cause her to be easy to find, and also likely to be a top choice if trying to get someone to provide an alibi. I’d expect her older sisters to take advantage of that and push her past her laziness when they saw fit. I’m completely speculating that as they grew they counted some of those as owing her one/several favors in return.

For Cinn, I’m assuming not turning her in on something, and Pumpkin didn’t stick around.

Anise looks like she’s ready to enjoy it. Cinn and Tara aren’t exactly looking upset with the idea. Juniper, she could end up making out the most from this. What if this is the experience that helps turn it all around for her?

Ginger is helping out single friends of hers with this. The only one who isn’t possibly getting anything out of this and may not be helping at all, is Pumpkin, who if she was smart, would charge for baby sitting, while doing her sister the favor.
